This one is simple enough. Our project: 

Use color!

Lots of color!

So I did.  I took a lot of color and added it to some little fish.

Ta~ Da~

I love color. Its so expressional and magnificent. It boosts anything right away an catches the eye on seconds. Who isn't hypnotized by bright vibrant colors?  None of the people in Time Square I'll tell you that. 

Who doesn't love vectors??

Me. 

They take a long time.

Although its a pretty cool simplification and the final picture is awesome. We had to make a vector image of anything we wanted, so I chose Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Because he is gorgeous.

After:

Lovely~

Another project piece:

~Photo manipulation~

Our job was to take one photo and manipulate it into another as to make it seem like it naturally belonged there. So I took my favorite artist and blended it into this picture of two men laying brick down. 

DaVinci's Angel:

Brick Layers:

Final Product:

If I had the money that would be the future path up to my front door. 

A small animation for another digital media class at Bloomfield College 

Assignment given:  Create 3 new pieces for any name brand company's product for a magazine. 

If food is the prose of life layout is its poetry ~

I'm just going to jump right into it, an old project and a new one from the typography class. One about healthy food and the other, a poem layout we had to do. I don't like poetry. I can't take it seriously. Poems...only good for greeting cards.

Our project a few weeks ago was to create a flier to give to the staff of a school about the products they buy for the children's school lunches. Our job was to inform them that they should buy healthier food from our 'company' (we had to make one up) and convince them that they could both save money with us and get good heart healthy food for a stronger body and mind, preventing childhood obesity and the like. That and I happened to discover a man named Jamie Oliver, see how much he cares about healthy food that still tastes good, and...may have bought two of his cook books. I guess my teacher and I are shameless plugs for Mr. Oliver. Buy his books~ they really have some good recipes....

This here was our Poem, "Trapped" by a Mr. I-dont-remember-who, about a man who apparently loves a mannequin, just reminds me of a movie called "Lars and the Real Girl" where a man has a, non sexual, love interest in ones of those 'Real Girl' sex dolls that are supposed to look and be as anatomically correct as a woman. Well basically here I just typed out the poem, vertically so you could read and follow it, layered the title in the background, and bolded it to stick out, as well as typed the entire poem into the shape of a woman's figure, 'trapped' in it you might say, and made it lay, or depend on the type to keep it up, since it's not alive or real enough to do that on it's own.

Men and Women

Welcome to the wonderful world o Typography!
Or at least the projects I made for my typography class. Two different assignments for two different genders, or at least that's how they seem to me. An Esquire 'how to be a man' layout and then a flier for the 'White Lotus' yoga school. I know yoga isn't just for women but, hey, it seems like one of those, more for women things.

Anyways, here is our project: 'To create a layout for the How to be a Man section of the famous Esquire magazine, which is of course, a rag all for men, classy and hip, and slick refined men. Men around the ages of 18 and older, so I bought one, looked through it and found a pattern of certain designs of theirs and made mine fitting enough that they might actually consider using it, and what's more manly than the Old West. With a simple design and straight to the point, this magazine helps men learn the things they should know, and my design will help them actually read and follow it....hopefully.


A lighter than air, body renewing, spirit enlightening school to practice yoga at all levels with meditation, tantra, the Indian, Buddhist zen knowledge of strengthening the body and mind with poses and exercise. If only this school really existed... it was just another project from my typography teacher, to make a flier for a made up school of yoga. After a good deal of research as to what exactly yoga is, I made this layout, light colors, chakra symbols, a few poses and images of how relaxing it all can be, after the pretzel you bent yourself into becomes un-knotted.
